I'm not complete sold on that one. You will need training material. While there have been impressive results even for architectures/programming languages for which I would not have expected to be much training material to be available, there will be a minimum. I'm afraid for a new architecture unlike everything else, your AI coding assistant won't be of much help.

But models can just ingest large parts of the documentation into their context window, write the code based on that (which they'd likely be surprisingly good at, adapting to the entirely different memory mechanics and so on using just a handful examples) and test+iterate on it until it produces the expected results (which they can compare against a regular implementation) and performs well.
